In Scooby-Doo 2: Monsters Unleashed, Scooby and the gang lose their cool - and their stellar reputation - when an anonymous masked villain wreaks mayhem on the city of Coolsville with a monster machine that re-creates classic Mystery Inc. foes like The Pterodactyl Ghost, The Black Knight Ghost, Captain Cutler's Ghost and The 10,000 Volt Ghost. Under pressure from relentless reporter Heather Jasper-Howe (ALICIA SILVERSTONE) and the terrified citizens of Coolsville, the gang launches an investigation into the mysterious monster outbreak that leaves Shaggy and Scooby questioning their roles in Mystery Inc. The ever-ravenous duo, determined to prove they're great detectives, don a series of far-out disguises in their search for clues. All signs point to Jeremiah "Old Man" Wickles (PETER BOYLE), the former Black Knight Ghost who was once unmasked by the gang and thrown in jail. Did the creepy wannabe launch the monstrous attack on Coolsville in a diabolical quest for revenge? Meanwhile, brainy Velma (LINDA CARDELLINI) becomes smitten with another key suspect, Coolsonian Criminology Museum curator Patrick Wisely (SETH GREEN), as macho leader Fred (FREDDIE PRINZE JR.) and image-conscious Daphne (SARAH MICHELLE GELLAR) attempt to determine the identity of the Evil Masked Figure whose monster army is wreaking havoc on Coolsville.

It's a terrible movie. The laughs aren't there. The stunts are stupid. There's no plot whatsoever.

Much like the Flintstones movies, this sequel is better than the original but still falls far short of the post-modern genius of its original cartoon series.

Overall, the meandering mayhem to the shoddy sequel Scooby Doo 2: Monster’s Unleashed is as untested, shaky, and crooked as pesky puppy Scrappy Doo’s hind leg

Essentiellement, c'est du pareil au même avec un peu plus de budget et un peu plus de nostalgie que le premier film.

Surely everyone enjoys seeing a cartoon dog light his own farts on fire as a means of staving off an enemy.

Corrects many of the problems that plagued its predecessor and returns to the general feel and campy creativity of the animated series.

Okay, if there has to be a worst film of 2004, and there HAS, then this is a good place to start looking.

The monsters are the highlight of the film, and if history is any guide, there will be more ghosts and evildoers for our wholesome heroes to battle in Scooby-Doo 3.

As little as there is to recommend in Scooby-Doo 2, it must be noted that the human cast has done an uncanny job of inhabiting their two-dimensional characters, especially Lillard.

Proving that bigger isn't necessarily better, the second live-action Scooby-Doo movie features more action and computer-generated monsters, but not funnier jokes or a more coherent script.

The movie's almost good enough to wash the bad taste of the first Scooby-Doo movie from our mouths. Almost.

The sequel will likely be a disappointment to everyone except 10-year-old barf joke aficionados and a few stoned adults.

Although very young children may enjoy its garish blend of splashy visuals and sophomoric humor, viewers over the age of eight will find this sequel to 2002's Scooby-Doo a crushing bore.

As in the first movie, you can look at Monsters Unleashed and not find a single thing to like.

Aims directly at young Scooby-philes, playing it straight and corny and evoking nostalgic memories of episodes past.
